A-Rod and His Excellent Topcoat are the Real Power Couple Here

How to pull off the seasonal essential from one-half of 2017's most stylish duo.

There's no question that J-Lo has had a positive impact on A-Rod's style since the pair officially became J-Rod earlier this year. But, we have to say, the handsome gray topcoat Rodriguez wore to breakfast in New York City this morning is also doing its part to make the retired athlete look his most stylish ever. Look at that guy!

Worn over a charcoal suit with the collar flipped up, the coat turned A-Rod's business man suit into a classier, cooler, and more confident 'fit instantly. In addition to creating a nice monochromatic palette the coat also fit him well. It hit Rodriguez just above the knee, which is exactly where a 3/4-length coat should land. A little higher is fine, but beware the big man in a little coat effect. The gray topper also fit over his suit jacket nicely; not menswear-blogger tight or Donald Trump-level loose. Just right.

A classic tailored overcoat is always in style but we've been talking about them a lot lately. That's because designers are pulling out all the stops when it comes to design this season, offering styles in strong patterns and with interesting details that make them feel as powerful as any parka or puffer. Plus, unlike those other styles, you can snag a nice-looking topcoat for a very reasonable price. We're talking wool, cashmere, tweed perfection for under $500. Here are just six options you can pick up from your favorite stores right now. Wear them over your own gray suit, or anything else in your wardrobe and watch your stock instantly rise too.
